About the UWA GPA System
UWA multiplies each unit's credit points by its GPA grade value and divides by the credit points. In UWA's example, Johnny takes six 6-credit-point units graded HD, CR, D, N, P and HD, withdraws early from one unit (WP, left out) and late from another (FN, counted as 0): 174 ÷ 42 = 4.14.
Why GPA Matters at UWA
Your GPA is on your academic transcript if you started your course in 2005 or later, and each course you take has its own GPA. UWA says that scholarships, fee places and awards with distinction may use a different GPA calculation, set out in the course or scholarship rules. We did not find a university-wide distinction threshold.
UWA Grading Note
UWA's GPA gives 7 for a Higher Distinction (80-100%), 6 for a Distinction (70-79%), 5 for a Credit Pass (60-69%) and 4 for a Pass (50-59%) or a passed supplementary exam. Both fail grades, N+ (45-49%) and N (0-44%), count 0, as do FN, FC, FS, UF and WE. UWA also reports a WAM (average mark); work that out with the WAM calculator at /wam-calculator/.
UWA Accuracy Scope
All attempts at units awarded a numeric grade count, and unfinalised results do not. Withdrawing before the academic penalty date keeps a unit out; withdrawing after it counts as a fail (0). UWA states no rounding rule; its example 174 ÷ 42 is printed as 4.14. The GPA used for admission to the Juris Doctor, Doctor of Medicine, Doctor of Dental Medicine and some assured pathways is calculated differently.
GPA Tips for UWA Students
- Most UWA units are 6 credit points.
- Enter a late withdrawal (FN) as a fail worth 0; an early withdrawal (WP or WD) is left out.
- In the WAM, not the GPA, a Failed Component (FC) counts as 48 and a Passed Supplementary (PS) as 50.
Common GPA Mistakes at UWA
Entering only your latest attempt at a failed unit. UWA's GPA includes all attempts at units awarded a numeric grade.
